I hate standing at home deopt for 5 hours looking at every damn 2x4 to find the straight ones. I also like how easy they are to install. I have one of those 22 caliber nail gun things and it made it very fast and easy. I laid down the botton piece, nailed it down. Put up the top piece on the ceiling and screwed it up. The studs then fit in the channels that are premarked at 16", it is really simple. The studs have precut holes for the wires so that made the eletrical piece of it a lot easier. > > I will never use a wood stud again, unless I really have to. Exactly. For framing non-load bearing walls there is no quicker, easier, or straighter way to go. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/steel-studs/202566)._
